GPR and AIH Relay Swap

First off Hi everyone!!!! I know I've been a ghost lately but all worth it. Had to book up and buckle down for our promotional test at work. Hard work paid off. Score #1 on the test and was promoted to Lieutenant on January 8th!

So Here's my question my My GPR took a poop and I n longer have an AIH can I use the relay from the AIH for the Glow Plugs?

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years!!!!

You can use the AIH relay for glow plugs as everyone said. The 2 bolts might be spaced a little different and the AIH relay is taller (continuous duty maybe?) but electrically it will work.

Now, since you have been studying:

Your engine arrives at a structure fire with a 20 ft. X 25 ft. area fully involved with no exposures. What is the required fire flow? You stretch a 200 ft. 1 3/4 inch preconnect to the fire and flow the required volume of water through a fog nozzle. What is the discharge pressure assuming the nozzle is at the same elevation as the pump? What is the discharge pressure if the fire is on the third floor?

Congratulations, Lieutenant! Forgive my NFPA/IFSTA rant, I've been training 2 new drivers the past few weeks and my head's full of this stuff.

I did it and it works great. No need to re locate relays, all the wires will reach.
I removed the power lead to the AIH and switched all the other wires to the other relay. Safe place to land them. I added a GPR LED indicator light while I was at it.

Chris you're over thinking it. Stretch a 200' 2" preconnect with a smooth bore nozzle 15/16" tip and put 50 psi at the tip! Should be right around 210 gallons a minute if you're using combat hose! Lol

Thanks for the congrats everyone. Big step for me and very proud to be pick!

Relay working just fine. Thanks again!!!!
